hello,

Tim? it's possible for a future version, to explode the curvature line for the best dupplicate object?

Same explode the iso lines?

good idea no?:o

Thanks

Antoine

========== POSSIBLE WORTHY FEATURE REQUEST ==============

A feature request that i kept forgetting to ask for:

When thickening surfaces, the thickened or thrown side direction seems to vary, possibly according to whether i drew or selected curves from right to left or left to right. I'd like to have the app offer two additional ways to in-advance control the direction the the thickness happens.

Request restated:

Specifying that thickness added to a surface be:

-- "thrown" or directed "outward from the centroid of the model/axis/etc"
-- or inward
-- all to the left
-- all to the right
-- or based on every-thicken-action prompts the user in the case of intricate areas of thickening


This could supplant or enhance the use of the ctrl key to reverse the thickness, and it would save a lot of time waiting for the reversal to occur.

I would like to suggest that the tools/icons location remembering be improved. I would like the tools pallets to be "tightened up" (eliminating spacing and placement delicacy and shrinking the icons even further to save more space) or even put on a dock that hugs the perimeter of the drawing space, and that the geometry editing actions not go into the boundary. I would.

It would be nice if the information area could also be shrank some, or be user adjustable. As much a i will not use TurboCAD anymore (price is too high for the 3D features that ViaCAD should be universally praised for including), i DO miss the breadth and depth of their well-laid out tool bars and pallets manipulation... it's kinda overkill. I also like their layers features, but all that said, i definitely like ViaCAD's show/hide/show all/hide all tools.

I find i am opening and closing many files. Sometimes, they're quick-in-and-out, to see what is in them. In the old days of windows apps, some had project pallets so one could pin or assign or append or even edit the list of always-active files that one does not want disappearing after opening and closing a bunch of irrelevant files.


It would be nice if, say, a tasks pane existed. I could keep my major hot files pinned there, for a given project. Additional research panes would hold near-hot actionable files, and an overwrite-list-after-15th-open for less hot pane would deal with things as they are now.

The only alternative i can see now is to keep a notepad list or jot down on paper but that gets old, messy, and sometimes lost.

FYI, the surface is offset is relative to the surface normal. Use Verify:Show Direction to see the positive direction of a surface. For Solids, the positive direction is always outward from the closed volume.
